I think the hole in the pot handle works great as a place to set the spoon. My friend thinks this should be illegal.
This should be illegal. The spoon will drip the juice on the oven. Plus its a hazard if someone happen to swing near the spoon, it's game over.
Not just on the oven, the juice will run up the handle and get everything dirty. Might as well be stirring with your hand at that point.
Are... are you not supposed to do that?
Not if it's hot you could burn your hand
Yea why not just put it on a plate to the side?
This is the way.
Why would anything be swinging over a hot stove?
Long hair, loose clothes, a rogue dick. You never know.
This person's clearly never gotten their dick stuck in an unsupervised bolognese, and it shows.
Probably my favourite sentence I've read this week so far! Thanks! ๐
We've all been there.
People don't realize
To me, a big spoon trapped like it can act as a lever, is not a good idea in a kitchen, in general. I Myself pull a small plate to put my kitchen tools on it.
If someone else is in the kitchen while I'm cooking, its already game over, for them.
This is some hobbit-level shit.
That is the best compliment I've gotten in a while.
I've been doing this for years, it's super convenient.
The comments in this thread are fucking hilarious.
Yes, this thread contains a lot of great banter and I'm here for it!
We need a mildly infuriating sub asap!
Gravy trebuchet!
This will drip on both handles (spoon and pot), I just put it on top of the pot handle facing down when there's no nearby plate.
None of my spoons or spatulas fit in the hole.
look at mr big spoon here
I'm more mr small pan to be honest.
I remember seeing this in one of those "lifehack" videos a while ago
Yet another example of a "lifehack" that makes someone feel smart, but is actually pretty stupidly "solving" a problem that doesn't exist.
Yeah, i also saw this in some lifehack video
That really bothers me for some reason. You know, they make wooden spoons with notches in them so you can set them on the lip of the pot. That a lot less of a spill hzzard than what you've got going on.
I'm calling the Kitchen Police!
Call OSHA too cause they might want to expand into household hazard rules ๐
Apparently if you rest a wooden spoon directly on the pot it will prevent it from boiling over.
Note: house is only not covered in objects because the cleaners are literally still here.
I wish my cleaners did that good of a job.... wait... that's me. I guess I need to fire myself.
Not sure if it's brilliant for its convenience, or just should be illegal since it just provides a "flying" object with would be so easy to stumble on.
People seem to expect a lot of wild action over an active stovetop. That hasn't so much been my experience....I mean after college.
I feel like this would tip over a lot of pots and pans.
I think the picture is unclear somehow, the spoon is over the pot so it isn't shifting the center of mass outward.
Huh, I guess that makes sense. Mentally I just saw weight being added to the end of the handle.
